Steven, our returning champion, is in a tie for second place with Evan. Kevin with a three-question lead. But anything can still happen as we get back to some more questions.
1. William Hartnell was the first actor to play the title role in this long-running science fiction franchise; he starred in "Doctor..."
2. This uptown girl returned to the pages of the "Sports Illustrated" 2017 swimwear issue -- and appeared with her two daughters. Who is this model?
3. At Chicago's Wrigley Field, Cubs announcer Harry Caray often lead the crowd in a singing of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" -- during the middle of which inning?
4. Later this summer, we'll see Andy Cohen host a revival of what classic relationship show?
5. Long before his eponymous sitcom and "The Price is Right", Drew Carey served in what branch of the U.S. military?

Now to try to conduct business with our leader. Kevin -- that's you. You're leading by $10. Last time, we tried to tempt you with a $3000+ bargain. Let's see if we can talk you into -- this amazing trip. (oriental music plays)(Stacey in makeshift golden temple surrounded by models in Thai fashions) Stacey: Kevin, get ready for a dream vacation in Bangkok, Thailand.
(audience cheers)
You and a guest will fly round-trip coach to Bangkok for a six-night stay at a luxury hotel.
While you're there, enjoy the palaces and museums of one of the world's most exotic cities -- all compliments of Club Universe.
This vacation is normally priced at $14,765. But today it's yours for only...
....$12 from Club Universe -- and $ale of the Century.
(audience cheers)Ohhhhh -- wow. Bangkok. Indeed a fantastic city. A crew member from one of my old shows spent her honeymoon in Bangkok. She and her hubby loved it over there. Kevin, what about you? What are you thinking? |

Now, let me assess the situation. (makes thinking noises, Stacey swoons) Whoa, careful there, Stacey. Now, Kevin, you're leading by $10 off the champ. This would cost you $12, except it won't. I'll make it $9. You'd have a dollar lead. (singing) "One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble". $9 once, twice.... give you $1,000 in spending money. $9 three times, going going....(audience shouts suggestions)

We would've knocked Kevin's asking price down to five dollars on that last instant bargain had Vinnie caught up to reality.

Doug: We subtract five dollars for that -- which would be about 67 rand. I challenge this ruling.

Perhaps the question meant to ask about the South African rand? |

Well, the bad news is we don't add anything to your score right now, Steven. The good news -- especially for Evan -- is that each question from now until the CashCard game is worth double. A right answer awards $10; a wrong answer subtracts $10. So at ten bucks a pop -- here we go. 1. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding the office previously held by his father for parts of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister of -- what nation?
2. In the standard dice game Yahtzee, a full house is worth how many points?
3. Bugs Bunny loved to eat this vegetable -- even though his legendary voice actor, Mel Blanc, did not. Name this vegetable?
4. What U.S. president wrote a book entitled "Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again"?
5. What actor gave us this memorable line from a film released in 1949? "Never apologize, mister, it's a sign of weakness."
